Life is Beautiful

Hi, everyone! This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Giovana aka giogio....congrats, Giovana!! I chose this beautiful card to case today for my neice's birthday. The designer paper I chose is from Stampin Up and the stamps are from Altenew. The flowers were stamped with Stazon Jet Black onto watercolor paper, water-colored with an aquabrush, fussy cut, then popped up with foam tape. I also used the following dies from Divinity Designs LLC: Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer. Baker's twine and faceted gems were added for finishing touches.
Thanks for stopping by!

Pinecone Birthday Wishes

 Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge site over at Splitcoast is Lola and Dunelly.....I chose this photo for inspiration for my brother's birthday card.  The stamps, dies, and stencils are all from Altenew.  After the stenciling was done, the edges of the card were sponged for added dimension.

Coneflower Thank You

Happy Friday, everyone!  My card today is one of a group of thank you cards created for those who came to support me during my Dad's funeral visitation earlier this week.  I have combined this week's Splitcoast Color Challenge of Vanilla, Melon Mambo, and Pecan Pie, along with the Friday Free4All Challenge, which was to incorporate anything beginning with a 'B'.....brown is my 'B' word.  I have used the 'Nature's Harvest' stamp set by Stampin Up; the image was stamped with Stazon Timber Brown onto ivory cardstock; the petals were water-colored and the leaves were colored with markers.  I used an air-art tool for adding the 'splatters' once the coloring was finished.

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Blessings,
